☂️-

google is slowly killing their competition by a thousand cuts.

because they can’t fight both russia and iran at the same time.

this is why you can’t have videogame cards anymore.

so much so it’s in fact a us proxy war with russia.

cloud subscription computer companies in the future be like

few years ago, i tried a method of putting it into boot mode and using an app to root it and allow me to change it, not the same one the in article. i should have made that much clearer.

not so funny when it isn’t happening in the middle east but right at your doorstep

pushoverOS has finally finished it’s transition to free repository for oligarchs.

i like our chances of thriving in an alternative internet like in here, or building our own stuff that could be used for good. it’s is an immensely important resource some people take for granted and we should fight for it. however:

1 - the great majority of people accept it and the fringes are discarded as not profitable. the definitive wall where people draw the line goes further the more it’s normalized and the breaking point isn’t near. it’s already coming to your android phone.

2 - remember elected representatives don’t represent the people. they will go back at the slightest hint of disrupting business especially for banking and shopping. exemptions for the powerful aren’t out of the question on anything, plenty of that already.

3 - we are living through a global oil crisis that is starving people worldwide, many wars, genocide, nuclear tension and the rise of fascism. the splinternet is often talked about as being in the horizon. we are lucky to be in relative isolation so far.

things often seem inevitable because they are in bad shape. we are still scrambling over the ongoing fascism and we’ve been compounding the climate crisis without a care in the world.

i’m not saying it’s impossible or that we should quit. just that we need a realistic view of what we are up against, and who calls the shots right now.

if their go at web drm eventually ever comes to fruition, you can expect the fringe to be expelled from all but a few niche communities.

similar to what they are doing to private/custom android with the qr codes and play integrity and whatever else.

that’d be based

processors are not trivial to make.

more shit nobody wants!
